The cleanup job follows RFC6811 to match a route prefix:

   o  Matched: A Route Prefix is said to be Matched by a VRP when the
      Route Prefix is Covered by that VRP, the Route prefix length is
      less than or equal to the VRP maximum length, and the Route Origin
      ASN is equal to the VRP ASN.

In your example, the ROA should match the route object. I will check whether there is a conflict between the ROA and the route object.
